Baohong Watercolor Paper: hot press, cold press and rough. What is the difference?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Watercolor paper comes in different textures, and often choosing the right texture is the key to the success of your sketch. In this video, Anna and Julia try out three kinds of Baohong Masters' Choice watercolor paper and talk about the differences in how watercolors and fineliners work with all three kinds of paper.
The same applies to any other brand: hot press paper is smooth, cold press has some beautiful texture, while rough paper is the most textured.

Thank you for the demonstration of the different papers and mediums. It was super helpful. Thank you, also, for the link to the sample pack on Amazon. I put it in my cart and I look forward to recreating your demonstration to see for myself.
I love the 5x7 block of Baohong Academy cold press; it performs SO well. This is the one block I don't mind using --- with my heat tool any ripples flatten back out; I dint have to stretch it. (And, for me, the Academy cold press performed better than the professional cold press) 💛
Do you have a video of swatching your pallette? I love the colours. I was wondering which pigments you use 😄
I sent you a link to my gouache and watercolor palettes on Instagram😉 I also have a video where I show my palette and explain why I use certain colors.😊
Fun video! By coincidence, I ordered the same sample pack a few days ago from Amazon. The reviews there said the green thing is for cutting your paper off a block (not sure why it's included in the sample pack!). Maybe they're hoping you'll buy a block. I agree with Julia, cold-pressed is the best for beginners. I haven't tried rough but the hot pressed is too smooth for me right now. Thx for the video.
Thanks for your comment, Kim!♥️ Haha! I also kind of figured out it was for cutting paper of a block..😅 but it feels quite odd with loose sheets😂
I chose paper depending on what I’m painting.Cold pressed or rough For seascapes,landscapes and especially with granulating paints is the best.hot pressed,smooth paper is a must for portraits,botanicals,realism,mix media and stylised-cartoonish drawings,transparent pigments glazed and very detailed works...one is for more loose style,to force me to go more lose and big,sometimes more abstract and other where I can be more tight,can ,,overwork,, and go into tiniest details...I love them all,but painting portrait on cold pressed or rough will be torture and like less in focus the result,while landscape with added texture paper wins a lot.Botanicals and portraits,animal portraits-sharp and in focus like always will look best on smooth,hot pressed paper..I would advise to chose paper based on these principles and find out for you’re self why that’s best approach,paper is just another tool to ,,work,,for and with you.For me personally I don’t get any ,,cold pressed,, medium texture anymore.I go Just for rough and smooth,most textured and most smooth,silky one.For my senses rough is the most luxurious feel,adore the texture,love that it pushes me to be more free,expressive,big brush strokes,water and pigment do the talking,love to paint sea scapes,waves,beach and sky on it the most..but then I also tend to work,make these like colouring book style of pages,more cartoonish,loads of tiny details,some ink and other media,gold leaf and what else crazy,fun projects and hot pressed,smooth paper is on what it works the best so tend to go through much more hot pressed,smooth paper just cos of style of work tend to more..rough paper with sea scapes,landscapes has become sort of therapy,fun day paper,work-work is done mostly on hot pressed,smooth cos it also ,,scans the best and for prints later,, reasons... something like that...
@@ligaskirbauska8652 Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It sounds like you have a lot of experience with painting, and I absolutely agree with you about choosing the paper (and all the other supplies) depending on your needs. However, I notice that this advice doesn't really work for beginning artists. They don’t know what they prefer yet, so one “not too smooth, not too rough” type of paper, preferably accompanied by the name of the brand and the size, is what they are looking for. Later, they can try other types and decide what suits them better. Have a wonderful Sunday!😊♥️
@@julia_henze if one has to chose only one,then I would say go for hot press,cos anyways it’s a working horse at the end of the day.starting can be frustrating and it’s a learning curve on any paper,with any brush,any tool and people want to learn,years can pass until they realise on that cold pressed paper,they never will be able to get this or that effect.Starting people don’t tend to paint wet in wet anyways,most come from other media and tend to paint like with other media,sort of like on mix media paper...in that case hot pressed will be much more familiar,versatile like,they still can make ink,gouache,pastels,pencils,stencils,metal leaf and all ideas they can come up with,make most perfect line works and get maximum detail out without texture influence.Most starters anyways layer and glaze multiple layers with transparent pigments like in colouring book and wanna paint everything(flowers,bugs,fur,hair,faces,cos they learning it all without thinking that that paper is not the ideal for it.Better then from beginning they learn,struggle a bit to learn to work on hot pressed paper,if you got to chose just one paper.Then later when they get basics and start to fancy some texture,or for when they wanna learn some more fancy techniques,wet in wet,when they get more fancy,granulating paints,pigments then they can get that cold pressed or rough.And today in digital age,ability to scan,make prints it’s what feeds many artists,people to grow need to work and sell ( from tiny stickers,cards to prints )and be confident and cold pressed can be a throw back for most of artists who later want to scan work.Most people get very frustrated on that basic,,cold pressed,,cos it’s not really so fancy texture as rough and can’t make detailed works of basic flowers,birds,animals and people don’t even understand why suddenly can’t even paint good and detailed,realistic like before in other media...I was one of those persons who painted for years on that paper as thought and hated watercolours.As soon I got the smooth and did detailed work there I was like ok I can work with this,then I took rough and went there with my fancy and expensive Cobalts and minerals and painted amazing seascape and it was wow,finally I see it...for me cold pressed is not this not that,beautiful texture you still don’t get but you deal with All minuses to be frustrated with you’re works details and focus in general..starting people will want to paint many things they don’t even understand won’t look good on that paper,get frustrated thinking they are shit artists anyways 5 times a day,why to add one more frustration? Paper is there to be neutral or to be helpful tool.hot pressed is the most neutral,versatile paper then,people can paint any style,any topic on it,any details with most basic starter set paints...just my 2 cents
I heard that Kuretake Gansai Tambi work best on hot pressed (they act a bit like gouache)
Thank you for your comment on that! That's true! It also depends on your paint. However, I personally also like to paint with gouache on textured paper because I think it adds more interest to my sketches.😊
@@julia_henze i just tried Kuretake on hot press, really nice. And I agree, I like the textured effect too so I prefer cold press, or rough. It is fun to check how different the paint behaves on different papers
i have a question
cold press and textured cold press are different papers from.baohong or these are both same thanks
As far as I know there are only 3 types: hot press, cold press and rough. If you see different names for cold press, it must be the same paper, they just describe it differently.😊
@@julia_henze thank you very much
